Knicks @ Bucks: Wed Nov 28 @ 8:00pm - Big East Edition

The Big East Edition threads are for match-ups against the East's upper echelon teams. Each Big East Edition will feature a mini video mix of a particular Knick.

In this edition, I'll be bringing you a mini mix of Jason Kidd, who has proven that age does not necessarily degrade one's virility. Captain Kidd leads the team in steals, and has brought a niche to the offence unlike many others could.

The Bucks Can Be Stopped Here

The Bucks are notorious for crisp ball movement. If we lock the perimeter, we can take the W. Crucial, of course, is beating them on the boards. In Samuel Dalembert's absence VS Chicago the other night, the Bulls outrebounded the Bucks 54-40 including 20-10 on the offensive boards. But the real number was the seven offensive rebounds the Bulls claimed in the final 5:01.

Speaking on the Knicks' most recent/disgusting loss to Houston. A fine piece, I'm sure you'll agree.

Early on in the game we tried moving the ball and nothing was happening and Houston started pulling away so what happens next is you get Carmelo going and boom we're back in the game

Regardless of anything we had 22 assists, we shot 43% from 3

We lost due to rebounding 49-30 Houston and defense 51% FG, 56% 2's and 89% FT's

It seems you are losing confidence in Felt and don't understand this are part of the learning (and gelling) process and we will be better for it.

We not only won, but DOMINATED without our full roster, and without fully gelling. Now we see some cracks that we have more than enough time and opportunity to work on.

We'll break down the film, revamp some offensive plays, and we will adjust. We have to embrace this opportunity to see our weaknesses (before we get too confident), learn from what happened and adjust.

Felt is hungry enough to be relied upon. Winning how we did early "reactivated" Melo's ego approach superseding the humility he had and is forcing us to develop some bad habits (too many threes).

Once the leaders emerge (hopefully Melo himself, TC, STAT, Felt, and Kidd) and take a step back, they will realize what formula best suits the team goal of winning. Then we will have an identity.

When he gets double-teamed, he NEVER passes the ball, why?
He should be like LeBron, he seems like he's gonna take a shot, then all of the sudden he passes it to someone open.
Please Melo, do share the ball when the shot seems to be a low percentage one.

*Felton:

He is an underrated penetrator, but his shooting isn't that good. So yes, go and penetrate, but then pass it!
He should never shoot the ball unless it's a high percentage one.

My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness

Until then it's 50/50 whether we win or lose.

PS. I don't like that poll.

I know, Red. I know. It's purely a prognostication poll. I agree with what you said. I'm still sandy at Raymond for missing dimes V Brooklyn, but 1 game, regardless of how meaningful it was, only reflects as one game on the ladder.

I do have to say that our identity over the first 6 games had already fit a mould, and that not referring to it VS Brooklyn from both Ray and Melo had my panties in a bunch.

I believe there was solid opportunity to evolve and improve what was working early, and that abandoning that for an eventual loss was a stinker.
